About this design
Pink birthday cake shows a three-tier cake, white and covered with pink icing that drips in soft waves down each layer, sitting on a turquoise plate. Three lit yellow candles stand on top, surrounded by small confetti pieces in yellow, burgundy and turquoise. The strong burgundy outline and flat colour areas give it a friendly, illustrated look.
At 64 × 69 mm it suits a snack bag, a child's napkin or a pencil case. Pick a light background, cream or soft grey, so the pink stands out, and use a tear-away stabiliser under medium cotton: this machine embroidery stays crisp wash after wash.
How to stitch it
- Prepare 5 threads: white, salmon, burgundy, turquoise, yellow. The names give the closest shade; pick the one you like in your thread brand.
- Hoop the fabric in a 10 × 10 cm hoop with a stabiliser: tear-away for woven fabric (cotton, linen, canvas), cut-away for stretchy fabric (T-shirt, sweatshirt, bodysuit).
- Stitch the colours in this order: white → salmon → burgundy → turquoise → yellow → burgundy → salmon → yellow. The machine stops at each thread change (7 changes, 36 trims).
- Allow about 19 minutes at 700 stitches per minute, 10,300 stitches in all.
- For another size, open the design in the studio rather than enlarging it on the machine: the stitches are recalculated and the density stays right.
